Check out the transports below...

By Bus
This is the preferred transport if you want to have more spacious and better ride for Moalboal.

If you come from the Mactan Airport you need to take a taxi (or any vehicle if available for you) to Cebu South Bus Terminal in Cebu City. It will cost you around Php250.00 to the terminal.

It takes almost 3 hours to get to Moalboal via Ceres Bus (yellow big bus).

The rate should be between Php150-180, much less than a taxi from the airport to this station.

The view is nice since you will be taking the road by the seaside passing through towns and many sites.

By Taxi
You can hire a Taxi Cab for Moalboal Town if you want to ride a non-stop ride. However, you need to negotiate well with the driver (not with a porter) for your direction and rate. The normal price for a taxi ride is around Php3,000.

By V-Hire (Van)
You can take a van in various places in Cebu that goes to Moalboal. One of the places is the van terminal at SM City Cebu Department Store. You need to take a taxi or a bus from Mactan Island (if from the airport) to get to SM City Cebu, Cebu City.

But the better way is to request for a pickup service via your resort/dive shop especially when you have lots of luggage or you have a big group. The rate for this service is about Php3,000. The rate is almost similar to hiring a taxi.

Other Information You Need
